UPDATE 5:15PM: The Browns have confirmed to BerniesInsiders.com that
Gordon, McCown, and Echemandu have signed contracts prior to the start of
training camp. The Browns tell us that there is "nothing to report" on progress
with Sean Jones, which ties to earlier stories indicating that progress made
with the Browns second-round pick was not significant.

The story, if true, means that first-round selection Kellen Winslow Jr is the
only draft pick remaining unsigned.

The news comes as a surprise considering that, as recently as this morning,
Pat Dye, the agent for second-round selection Sean Jones, told the Plain Dealer
that very little progress had been made in contract talks. Bernie's Insiders
reported last week that the team was close with Luke McCown, a report seconded
by Tony Grossi yesterday, but little information had been made available by the
other three.

WKYC-3 has a business relationship with the Browns, since they carry the
Browns pre-season games as well as a show featuring Butch Davis. The channel's
lead sports anchor, Jim Donovan, also is the team's radio voice. As a result, we
suggest that the report should be taken seriously, but we advise that fans wait
for official confirmation from the Browns themselves.
